Yes, yes, all the yes's!
This place. A few of my friends had been frequenting this market and ogling over its treasures for some time, and while I'd never even heard of the place, they so graciously invited us to tag along.
Indeed, I am painted impressed. If you've gone to Paris on Ponce, it's a bit similar with the selections. Lots of old memorabilia, a fair amount of taxidermy and various oddities, and a lot of charmingly aged items. The store also sports a crafted section full semi-kitschy wares and hand crafted soaps.
I couldn't be happier with the selection, since there is so much to look at. You may, obviously, not really need it, but the collector in you will probably be at wits end in trying to convince you to spend. For the most part, I found the prices even reasonable too. I bought a very cute green beret here... which probably would be the last thing on my list of things to buy at such a place, but it was oddly so cute, I couldn't resist it's evil charm. It's probably cursed.
If you're looking for that unique, rustic, wood table or stool, be sure to stop by here too. Some of the pieces are really nice. Not sure how they compare to other antique stores with their crafted wood furniture, but I'm definitely considering a stool in the least.
Highlights, the booth that sells the massive geodes and crystals. 10% off on a lot of it too! All the wood items. This really cool rope & wood ladder, and all the old bottles, tins, wooden boxes you could dream of. My friend also mentioned, they seem to turn product quickly, I dunno how true that is... but I assume stuff frequently goes out of the store. They also have a layaway plan, I believe?
All in all, top notch antique market. Not overly kitschy. All kinds of good weird with lots of gorgeously 'touched by time' boxes and novelties. If you are looking for unique gifts, I'd give Kudzu a stop in.
